Keeping the garage area in view and a list of what all you have to store there, it won’t be so difficult to decide. Assign categories to items and space to categories and then start organizing accordingly. Also, label everything you can for future reference.
If you can mark the area your car would require, it can save you from many hassles while planning and also keep wall damages at bay.
